Greece in cinematographic torment - politcal perspectives on times of crisis

Quels regards politiques par temps de crise ?

Précédée d'une journée de projections, cette journée d'études souhaite revenir sur le formidable bouillonnement créatif du jeune cinéma grec que critiques, universitaires et arpenteurs de festivals observent depuis 2009 où la Grèce a été touchée de plein fouet par une crise économique d’ampleur européenne.

Voluntary Associations in the Yugoslav Space

Relations with State and Family from the Late 19th Century to the Present

The workshop focusses on the changing relationship between voluntary associations/NGOs, the state and the family. According to traditional sociological views, civil society – and thus associations, as its most frequently evoked incarnation – are conceived as being opposed to both the state and the family, a sort of free space for collective agency escaping from the strictures of both kinship structures and of the state. More recently, scholars of civil society have convincingly shown the problems with drawing a clear-cut border between the state and VAs/NGOs, and tend to see this border as porous, shifting, and subject to negotiation.

Co-Ethnics as Unwanted Others

Intra-Group Tensions After the Fall of Communism: Causes, Consequences, and Contexts

Much has been written about the intricacies of acceptance and integration of immigrants who are racial, ethnic and/or confessional ‘others’ in relation to host populations. There are many examples of co-ethnics’ interaction which are overtly or latently accompanied by intra-group conflict, tension and misunderstanding, but academic coverage of co-ethnics’ encounters is far less ‘mature’ in terms of conceptualization, and literature devoted to these issues is far less abundant. The pattern of peoples' interaction being studied is usually a result of various kinds of population movement provoked by serious socio-political cataclysms in the 20^th and 21^st centuries, including the collapse of multi-national states and the intensification of labor migration resulting from post-socialist economic transformation. Our aim is to bring together international scholars who could present results of their latest research on these topics, preferably from a comparative and/or micro-level perspective.
